24 June: Surprises about Portugal

DateFriday, June 24, 2011 at 06:35AM

This is a quick and dirty list of things that have surprised us so far in Portugal:

 

  • Portuguese sounds like Russian with Spanish words mixed in.
  • All the streets in Cascais (prounounced: Cash-kay) are paved with well-worn cobblestones
  • Pizza Hut (not just McDonalds) is ubiquitous
  • In the Indian restaurants, Brits and Americans outnumber Portugeuse
  • I dont know how to spell Portugeuse
  • Playgrounds are filled with kids well past our 'bedtime'
  • There are a ton of fish all around the docks and the boats.  Maybe because the water is clear, they are easier to see.
